Does not appear to be functional since at least yesterday.
You don't think the dread Chinese lead paint syndrome hit them?
"Chinese lead shipment stopped at U.S. border; found to be contaminated
with toys."

It's barely functional on a good day--navigation is slow and stupid.
It's like the grouchy old hobby shop owner: "You kids buy something
and then get out!"

Well, it just plain ain't there as of now: http://www.21stcenturytoys.com/
If all those pre-painted models had lead-containing paint on them, they
could have a real problem on their hands.

I have a garage ceiling full of their stuff..... I emailed
badcataviation where I get my 1/18 stuff and asked about the Admiral
line of 1/18 planes, a Dauntless is in the works. All they could says
is that there is a huge delay, with no explanation. given the amount
of paint on a 1/18 airplane, if that is the problem, then that
collectors niche is in trouble.

That's just what I thought.
That Dauntless would look great in a dive with the dive brakes open.
I was looking forward to 21st Century Toys 1/18th MiG-21.
Their website is still missing as of 3 PM CST, and the timing of all
this at the same time as all the toy recalls for lead is suspicious to
say the least.
